Everything about Rocks Cluster Distribution
Linux-distro for high-performance computing clusters
Rocks Cluster Distribution is a Linux distribution intended for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. It was started by the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) in 2000. It was initially funded in part by an NSF grant (2000–07), but was funded by the follow-up NSF grant through 2011. Wikipedia →
